Juanita
Leo Politi - 1948
Parents and children—and their children's children—have grown up reading his stories. Libraries, parks, and schools have been named in his honor; in 2008, on what would have been his one hundredth birthday, there were celebrations throughout the state. Many of Leo Politi's books have been out of print for years, and so Getty Publications is proud to reprint four of his most popular titles, including the Caldecott Medal-winning Song of the Swallows, first published in 1948. Song of the Swallows is the story of a little boy who's waiting for the once-a-year arrival of the swallows in San Juan Capistrano. Pedro: The Angel of Olvera Street, winner of a Caldecott Honor, is a Christmas story that takes place at that famous Los Angeles address, which is also the setting for Juanita, a fable about the annual blessing of the animals at Easter. The four-footed hero of Emmet is a plucky dog who saves his Los Angeles neighborhood from a fire. These four titles present the best of Leo Politi: the gentle humor and sense of magic that have made his books beloved by generations of readers in California and around the world.
